In the course of the lecture "Computer Vision II" by Prof. Leibe at RWTH Aachen University, we discussed contour based tracking as proposed in "Snakes: Active Contour Models" by Kass et al. and used dynamic programming to solve the resulting optimization problem. At this point, Amini et al. give a thorough discussion of how to use dynamic programming to solve variational problems in vision. This can be used to avoid a greedy approach to optimize the energy function of the "snake" (that is, the active contour used for tracking).
